So you still get the COLA but the 8% isn't compounded. So it's really just 8% for the first year. I think if you're on social security you're protected from any Medicare B cost increases greater than the COLA. So increases in Medicare B could decrease the gain from waiting to take social security.

As long as I can keep working, I'll delay social security. That'll mean more for my wife if I kick the bucket early. She will take early social security at 62. If I can delay til close to 70, I presume my wife could switch to spousal benefit (50%) which should then be more than her early social security.

I think this is all too complex for a meaningful poll. There's so much variation in people's situations.
